#Blogmonday – Let’s Share the Linkey Love

26 Apr 2009

I consider myself fortunate because I get to learn a lot from some very smart people. I do social media in my day job, teach it at my night job, blog (duh) and get to so some freelance writing and podcast work on the side.

The best part? Just about every day, I learn something new.

I have to confess, however, that my daily reading does not include some of the real blogosphere luminaries (I promised, no more about Scoble). Aside from Shel Holtz and Neville Hobson (whom I consider A-Listers), my daily reading consists of some of whom I consider to be the “hidden gems” of the blogosphere. And that’s why I came up with the wacky idea (boldly stealing #followfriday) with #blogmonday.

My dream is that, through blogging about other bloggers, we all can increase the reach and scope of our own blogger networks, help promote some really smart people who just don’t have the high Technorati rankings (yet) as well as share our own online rolodexes of “must reads.”

So please, feel free to join me in promoting some of the smart people out there. And trust me; I plan to make this a weekly occurrence in the hopes that it takes off. If you’re not in this one, you will more than likely make it into another. So here are my entries for the inaugural #blogmonday.

Tried, True and Terrific

Occam Razr’s – Ike Piggot’s blog not only makes me think about more things that just social media, I learn something new every time I read it.

It’s Not a Lecture: David Wescott makes you think; and he developed (and executed) a brilliant idea on the “Global Moms” initiative. Plus. he’s smart as hell.

Shilpika Das’s “Wired Conversations.” Full disclosure: Shilpika is a former student of mine, but writes amazingingly insightful posts. She is smart, a great writer and someone who makes me think. The student has become the teacher in this case.

Over the Monster – As a die-hard Red Sox fan (and I died hard many times before the first Red Sox World Series Championship, like in 1975, 1976 (Bucky Effing Dent) and of course, the Bucker-led 1986 team). But if your are a Sox fan, add this to your blogroll.

Mark-
Thanks for making my blog a charter member of #blogmonday. And thanks for the other good recommendations. Looking forward to digging into some new good stuff.

I am going to throw one blog in the ring that I get a heck of a lot of value out of: Media Emerging by Scott Hepburn. He is a Charlotte-based PR man/journalist/copywriter and all around media-savvy guy. Check him out here at https://bit.ly/n8WWu

One last thing: DESPITE the train wreck that was this weekend in Boston, Yankees STILL rule and you’ve got a long way to go to catch up to 26 World Championships. There- I said it. Now you know all about me! 😉
